It's unthinkable that I've lived in the US for over 20 years and have never come across any mention of The One (or is it The Green One? or The Angel Michael? or Michael The Great? or...?) a.k.a. Dwight York. Wow, what a deranged character; what's more deranged, however, is the fact that he amassed such a large group of faithful followers. (And, as always, for these Great Ones it comes down to the one thing and one thing only -- and yes, I'm talking about sex. It's a story as old as the world itself.)Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06050196102560885988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-46793733714617000342008-06-07T10:37:00.000-07:002008-06-07T10:37:00.000-07:00CMC, given your gift for making accurate predictio...CMC, given your gift for making accurate predictions, I'm not going to wage any bets here (LOL). However, this is what I think on the subject (bear with me, it's long): <BR/><BR/>Fighting New Age/occultism in their many forms is akin to fighting germs (and we talked about it elsewhere already). Both have been with the human race since forever and will last just as long. Our "fighting" efforts should focus on minimizing the conditions that give rise to their epidemics, chiefly by providing education, including teaching proper hygiene (in case of germs). But we are not going to eradicate them. They are intractable parts of human existence and one could argue that they also serve useful functions -- otherwise they would not last so long. <BR/><BR/>In a way, they represent an evolutionary struggle in which we all (i.e. various forms of life on this planet) are engaged. Germs do what they know best -- find suitable hosts to propagate and continue their existence as a<BR/>species; New Agers do the very same thing in the realm of spiritual/religious thought -- contest the established order of things (beliefs) in the name of what they believe to be superior ideas (even though they appear misguided to most). One could make an argument that we are witnessing an evolutionary fight -- for survival and/or dominance -- of competing philosophies and ethical systems, and whether we want it or not, we all participate in this fight in different ways. But the fight itself, or the evolutionary struggle, if you will, is going to continue, regardless of our preferences. And perhaps it is actually useful to us in some ways. While one way to respond would be to go after "the invaders" with the all-mighty power -- antibiotics in case of germs, and fire and brimstone in case of New Age spiritual ideas, this all-out indiscriminate assault would only exacerbate the problem and strengthen the intruders. Granted, we have to use extreme means to wipe out the most dangerous of them -- using antibiotics for life-threatening bacterial infections is indeed the way to go; but we may have to -- and perhaps<BR/>should -- learn to live with and accommodate the less invasive and dangerous strains of organisms and ideas, if only because they make us stronger (as in, more resilient and more intelligent, paradoxically) and make our evolution as the species, both in the realm of biology and ideas, possible. <BR/><BR/>Besides, living in a free market society means that we should allow the same principles of open competition apply to ideas, as annoying (or threatening) as this tolerance may be.<BR/><BR/>But, yes, oh yes, I too wish somebody started to take Oprah and Co. to task for spreading nonsense (ain't gonna happen, though, not any time soon -- too much money rides on promoting all things Oprah and not enough (if any) on going in the opposite direction).Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06050196102560885988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-5932687566159468392008-06-06T10:59:00.000-07:002008-06-06T10:59:00.000-07:00"(...) the 60s generation had a weak spot for spir..."(...) the 60s generation had a weak spot for spiritual sundials and rhetorical rainbows of pastel madness..."<BR/><BR/>Like your language. :) An interesting post overall -- more on it later.Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06050196102560885988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-70411597987825771662008-06-06T09:50:00.000-07:002008-06-06T09:50:00.000-07:00Crack Emcee, I think this is one of the best posts...Crack Emcee, I think this is one of the best posts you've done yet, and so very true.
